PEOPLE DAILY \ Friday, November 14, 2014 Tony Abbott G20 has a duty to restore confidence in global economy Almost a year ago, when Australia as- sumed the presidency of the G20, I said the world needed less talk and more action. The arrival of leaders in Brisbane this week will mark the culmination of a year of action. The Summit is an opportunity to finalise our commitments to strengthen the global economy, create jobs and delivery prosperity to billions of people. With our considerable combined politi- cal and economic influence, the G20 nations are ideally placed to act. Our leaders’ summit is the window of economic opportunity that opens just once a year. Early in Australia’s host year, G20 na- tions set an ambitious goal: To boost our collective economic GDP by at least two per cent on current trajectories over five years, through a combination of domestic actions and shared global commitments. Such a boost would add more than $2 trillion (Sh180 trillion) to the global economy and create millions of jobs worldwide. The mere act of setting this goal served to galvanise members into action. Over the next several months, G20 na- lens PEOPLE Heads in sand... Desperate times call for desperate measures. For Australian protesters who felt offended by their Premier Tony Abbott’s alleged refusal to include climate change on the G20 agenda, burying their heads in the sand of iconic Bondi Beach was the best way to tell the PM to stop being indifferent to the dangers of climate change. More than 100 protesters dug holes in the sand, plunged their bodies in halfway and held their position for three minutes.

When this happens, my prayer is that we must not go home and celebrate yet—we must instead look back in retrospect and ask why the army were deployed there in the first place. While this could generate a million expert opinions and advice, truth be told, the more we allow communities to enslave themselves in ignorance and retrogressive cultural idiocy, we risk always enacting scenes akin to the Hobbesian state of nature. For Turkana and the neighbouring counties, the exit strategy should not be a quick retreat but a creative long-term initiative that must roll out momentum to kick out ignorance and plant seeds of hope and renaissance—away from banditry and cattle rustling mentality. To quote the late President Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, from an Independence Day excerpt: “Many people may think that, now there is Uhuru, now I can see the sun of Freedom shining, richness will pour down like manna from Heaven. I tell you there will be nothing from Heaven. We must all work hard, with our hands, to save ourselves from poverty, ignorance, and disease.” For starters, the region does not lack in wealth and potential. The region has a lot of unexplored oil and underground aqui- #Tweets to the editor / / / White Widow terrorist shot dead in Ukraine. Your comment?

By dealing a blow to the economies of banditry that inform warlike activities revolving around cattle rustling then shall we have saved the world for the children and women who are held captive by this culture. Tap the potential Do we still need age sets, if so, for what purpose? If the sole purpose is to breed warriors to guard the communities while we spend billions of shillings building a strong police and military presence, then we must be high on something.

County governments must now be compelled to make it mandatory for children to go to school and help stimulate their minds and use energy positively. More importantly, County and Nation- al governments must ensure, while they are busy educating the masses, electricity, pipe water, technology and good roads are available. Otherwise our efforts would be akin to treating a toothache with a painkiller yet the cavities are rotten. The pain will always come back and this time with all its relatives. The writer is Senior Sub Editor/Reporter at People Daily tions came up with almost 1,000 measures to drive economic growth. These included more investment in infrastructure, measures to facilitate trade, changes to competition policy and initiatives to improve workforce participation, especially by women and youth. The collective focus has paid off. In Sep- tember, after only seven months of effort, the IMF and the OECD estimated the strategies we had developed would take us 90 per cent of the way to meeting our growth goal. Since then, G20 members have continued to identify new actions and at the Leaders’ Summit it will be confirmed how close we have come to achieving the target. The target represents a stronger eco- nomic future for all of our people and demonstrates the real value that can come from a forum like the G20. Driving growth in the global economy has been at the centre of the G20’s efforts this year for the simple reason that growth is key to addressing almost every other global problem—problems that deny people op- portunities, stifle private-sector ambition and constrain quality of life. G20 leaders are duty-bound to address such problems. It is our job, individually and collectively. The decisions leaders will be asked to make tomorrow and the day after cover many subjects—jobs, infrastructure, tax, trade, competition, corruption, development and the reform of financial systems. But all are inter-connected. And all are on the table because they offer solutions to one big challenge: How do we restore confidence in the global economy? Economic future Greater confidence will bring the in- vestment decisions that drive economic growth, which in turn will deliver jobs, opportunity and higher living standards. Building confidence requires more than tweaking fiscal and monetary policy settings. It demands structural reforms to improve the efficiency of individual economies, and through them, the global’s. This year, through persuasion, G20 nations have achieved collectively what might have been impossible acting alone. Cooperation on this scale, to lift global growth through concerted domestic structural reform, is unprecedented. We have achieved much in other priori- ty areas, too. We’ve been on track to deliver the first tranche of tax reforms to combat base erosion and profit shifting, to help ensure corporations pay their fair share of tax in their profit-making jurisdictions. We’ve agreed to a major, multi-year piece of work to boost private-sector investment in the infrastructure that drives productivity—roads, ports, railways and power stations. However, $70 trillion worth of additional infrastructure will be needed globally by 2030. No longer can governments alone meet the demand. In Brisbane, leaders can prove to the world that a forum that showed its mettle in responding to the dark days of global crisis can prove it again; this time in actually shaping the economic future. I look forward to welcoming G20 lead- ers to Brisbane.

The long serving officer, who peers and juniors alike claim may be serving past retirement age, is also reported to be contemplating a court action to challenge the Kavuludi team decision to consign him to a rank he considers “junior”. From this desk, we can only sit, watch and see as the would-be drama unfolds! Where are Balala steps taking him? Just what is going on in the mind of Mining Cabinet secretary Najib Balala ahead of the 2017 elections? While the former Mvita MP has been largely missing from activities linked to his ministry and even rarely commenting on them, the CS is reported to have been attending several meetings convened by some of the so-called ODM rebels. And when recently asked by a media reporter about his political interests, Balala simply retorted: “Watch my steps.” Get that Obama, Putin look on Chinese web Chinese traders are offering the chance to get that “world leader look” by selling copies of the garb worn by Barack Obama, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping at this week’s APEC summit in Beijing. While the silky high-collared tunics were based on the traditional “Mao suits” once beloved by Chinese leaders, social media commentators outside the country joked that they resembled the uniforms worn in the sci-fi TV show Star Trek. Only days after the leaders donned the national dress for a “family photo”—a tradition of the AsiaPacific Economic Cooperation gathering—China’s agile entrepreneurs and its huge Internet marketplace were already selling replicas online. “They are very popular, but customers have to wait 20 days to receive the goods because we need to make them,” a retailer selling the tunics for $44 (Sh4,000) said. -AFP PEOPLE SPEAK 11
